Man-shaming aside, the billboard, paid for by Prolife Across America, doesn't appear to have it right with its "heartbeat at 18 days" assertion. According to the Mayo Clinic, a fetal heartbeat begins about four weeks after conception.

Then again, who needs facts when appealing to emotions can do the trick?

Free speech doesn't shield you from criticism. I just wish the pro life people would spend this money on programs that actually help solve problems rather than trying to guilt people into their way of thinking.

So what if Pro life people want to have their say. Pro choice people get to. People forget there can be life long emotional scars to taking the life of your own unborn. Or some would say. Free speech is for everyone.

@Amy Lynn Hey stupid why don't you learn what free speech for everyone means. It means they can put up a stupid billboard and we can call the billboard stupid. You can post your dumb comment and I can point out what an idiot you are.

Thank you. In your attempt to keep the conversation one sided, you accidentally touched on the real problem. As a country we have completely inadequate access to proper sex education and contraception. Nowhere is this a bigger problem than in low income communities. When we defund the programs that educate and instead push for abstinence only programs we actually create these types of problems. The reason that I know you're a low information rhetoric person is because you see PP as nothing more than a baby killing machine when in fact they spend way more money on std testing, contraceptives and education than abortion. So, please keep oversimplifying every situation, it makes it easier for the smart people to ignore you

You know that planned parenthood aborts more black babies than white babies right? Is this solution you speak of equate to killing all the black people or just culling their population through abortion?

His "Mom." MichelleBachmann is a freak of nature, the first child to be born of two men. One day his surrogate father had to take a huge shit, unfortunately MB climbed from the toilet before it could be flushed.
